The Moretti family, owners of the famous Bellavista winery in Franciacorta founded Petra in the late 1990's. The estate is in Maremma in the Val di Cornia. They have 240 acres and an incredible modern gravity flow winery designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta. The grapes for this, their most affordable selection, were hand-picked in late August. They undergo a short maceration of a maximum of 7-10 days. Fermentation and extended maceration take place in stainless steel tanks. The Wine Advocate scored it 90 points saying "The 2009 Zingari is a fleshy, generous wine graced with expressive fruit. Sweet, floral notes add length and brightness to the long, caressing finish. This shows great depth without coming across heavy, quite a rarity in Bolgheri. The blend is equal parts Merlot, Sangiovese, Shiraz and Alicante, all aged in steel. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2017."
